This was beautifully shown by asking a model to explain how it added two numbers together (something like 45+21), and it told a plausible story, when in fact they showed it was some rotation on a helix living in some internal manifold.
Like asking a human "how did you catch that fast ball coming at you?"
It could be that the rotation in the helix manifold whatever is a low level representation of the logical steps (carry the 2, add the next column,...) it's describing. The point stands that the explanation it generates doesn't necessarily in all cases reflect what it "actually did" but your counterexample doesn't hold.
